OpticalGaming.com review

[Xtrm2Matt]

Hi,

I'm in the process of redesigning my site and would appreciate any comments / suggestions for the new design.

Old design: www.OpticalGaming.com
New design: www.OpticalGaming.com/new

Things I've yet to do is make the navigation bars fill to the bottom of the page. Top banner rotates on the new design if you wish to comment on the different banners that I've created - simply refresh

Cheers.

Re

Critique:

Good theme
Excellent organization and presentation
good banner
nice font on optical gaming
give more space between home/donate line and beginning of posts (its a little crowded)
get a good slogan and include it somwhere in the banner in small font
about us should be second to home in your navigation bar

Wordpress i take it?

I like the banner/header of the old one better actually.
The CMS of wordpress is certainly a good tool to go with. Your screen arrangement works better with the new version, yet i'd consider reusing the old banner.
Other than that, once you have content on the new version, make sure that you keep the spacing in between topics and responses. Also, make sure that your nav bar is clearly visible, ease of navigation/use is key to be successful. Gamers don't have time to go looking for a lot of content, they want it at hand to be able to get back into the game asap.

Best of luck with the new design! :tu: 1/3

Thanks for the comments I've changed the nav. bar around and gave it more space. I'm looking into figuring out a slogan

Wordpress? I certainly hope not! :p Everything is designed/coded by myself, no CMS. Good suggestions, I'll take them on board

Anyone else? Would appreciate as much feedback as possible.

Cheers
